Very nice! Please tell me it's a rider  :-\
Do you still have the original shock? (and would you sell it?)

thanks lads. Yes, she's been built as a racer but after all the time & effort I think that I just want to sit back and admire it for a while, before it gets all tarnished and dirty.

sorry Mont, I'll be hanging on to the original G suspension.

Nice work Woody. :)

Got a ride on Steve G's stock, mostly original one on the weekend. Fantastic little bike - made me regret selling mine unfinished, to be honest.
But they're peaky! The Lakes track both forgave and punished the peakiness - the big straights and berms reduced the need for finesse (open it up and let it rip), but if you got off song on the big uphills you'd be better off walking...
And they're SO light - only bike I've ridden that has the 'think it around corners' feel of the YZ-X.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.
